MANILA, Philippines -- The field is now set for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang 5-on-5 Varsity Cup (MVC), organized by the Collegiate Center for Esports (CCE), next month.

The Varsity Cup follows the one-on-one tournament that served as an appetizer earlier this month.

The MVC is the main event of CCE's inaugural season, as the country's newest collegiate esports league goes online starting from November 10 to 21 with 10 colleges and universities out to showcase their talents in the sport.

Reigning NCAA men's basketball champions Colegio de San Juan de Letran will parade a lineup bannered by Finals MVP Fran Yu, with Jeo Ambohot, Allen Mina, King Caralipio, and Shan Bautista providing support.

A CCE regular season-by-season calendar featuring esports players and enrolled students from their respective schools is already in the works after the successful 1v1 and 5-on-5 launch starring basketball varsity standouts.
